I believe the Latter-day Saints have long been impressed with the feeling that unless the Spirit of God accompanies the word that is spoken it is not refreshing to us, we are not satisfied with simply hearing the principles that are enunciated. They are all divine, there is not a doctrine of the Church that has not come from a divines source, but when we listen to words spoken to us, unaccompanied by the inspiration that gave them originally, we do not feel satisfied; but no matter how simple may be the expressions that are used, and how often we have heard the doctrines of the Church explained, we need the accompanying Spirit to be present with them, and unless it is with the word, as I have said, we do not feel satisfied. – Charles W. Penrose, “Conference Report,” October 1917, First Day-Morning Session, p.18
